I can't say enough good things about this Bike Shop and Hunter…read more I'm from out of state and had an issue with my Aventon E bike. I called and gave my problem and Hunter advised to bring it in to see what the issue was. He got right on it and diagnosed the problem. He couldn't solve my issue as it needs a new battery and he had none in stock. I thanked him and asked what I owed him and he said nothing because I couldn't help you get back on your bike. This is a very well stocked bike shop with so many options for bike brands. Great service department and good location on the bike trail. Great old school service. Thank you

Had an awesome experience shopping here and would highly recommend stopping by if you like to ride…read morebikes. Upon entering I was greeted by the two staff members with a pleasant hello and the question of how can we help you today? Meanwhile both of these guys were clearly in the middle of assembling/ servicing bikes but didn't seem to mind taking a minute to help me find what I was looking for. This was huge for me as i've been to other shops in the past and have had the opposite experience. One time the staff of another local shop couldn't be bothered to look up from whatever they were doing to assist me when I was literally there to buy a bike... a nice top of the line gravel bike I wanted for a long time..that experience left me so jaded I took my business elsewhere. Long story long that was not the case with these dudes, and after helping me find the helmet and peddles I needed I learned a bunch about the owner Jake and head mechanic Ed. Both of them local to the area - their stoke and knowledge of the neighboring trail systems was wonderful and they even hooked me up w/ a shop water bottle - I've got a zillion bottles but who doesn't love free swag?? Safe to say I left shop more stoked on riding than when I walked in and fully intend to shop here again in the future. Lastly, the aesthetics were modern and major bonus points for the sick grunge station they had on!

The bike's rear tire had detached the previous day while my nephew was riding with friends. David suspected that low air pressure may have contributed to the issue. He kindly accommodated us by making the necessary repairs, which took approximately 45 minutes to complete. Prior to bringing the bike in, I had called David earlier in the morning, and he informed me of the shop's Sunday hours. David demonstrated exceptional efficiency and expertise, earning our loyalty as customers. I highly recommend Pedalin' Fools for ebike repairs

Tons of bikes in my family of cyclists and I had gotten a little tired of Landry's, so I figured I'd drive a couple extra miles to check out my old favorite shop. Waste of time. So sad.

So this review is a little odd, because the first time I went I had an amazing time. The staff was…read moresuper helpful, I wasn't sure what I wanted/needed in a bike and they were patient and answered my questions well and I bought an amazing bike that I love. I didn't feel pressured, I felt like the person was really interested in helping me find something that would suit me. It was a very good buying experience. We came back about a week later to look for a bike for my wife and were helped by a teenage employee. We said our budget was X and he showed us a couple of bikes. My wife tried them both out and liked one. So we said we'd like it. Came inside to buy it and at the register he said "Oh, the price is actually Y", which was 300 dollars over our range! That was really frustrating. I suspect this might just be a training issue, but that was a serious disappointment on that second visit. I will definitely still come back because I liked the shop, but be careful about who you get to help you.

I am an avid cyclist in road, mountain and gravel cycling, and Papa Wheelies has been my go to bike…read moreshop for a number of years. Their customer service and knowledge of all types of riders and bikes is why I choose to patronize them, as well as why I will send all my friends who I try to convince to get into cycling. They truly just want you to get the best bike for yourself. Not the most expensive or the flashiest bike. They know their stuff and they truly just want to match everyone to a bike that will make them happy and give them the best riding experience. Their repair staff is also top notch. I have had some whacky issues with my bikes over the years and they have solved them every single time. Several years ago, I purchased an Orbea mountain bike through them. Unfortunately, there was a manufacturers defect with the dropper post (not Papa Wheelie's fault - a manufacturing issue). The staff at Papa Wheelie's took my bike in and took care of the entire process in dealing with the claim and getting the part from the manufacturer and got me back on my bike quite quickly considering many of the parts were coming in from Spain. I am always team support your local bike shop, but I am specifically team support Papa Wheelies as your lbs, because they truly care. Yes, you can order a bike online direct from manufacturers, but nothing beats the experience of going in and working with the people at Papa Wheelies to figure out what bike works for you and making adjustments to that bike or getting a bike fit to make sure that it is the best possible machine you can ride. It's an investment and Papa Wheelies makes that process 100 times easier. Lastly, I'll add that bikes can be expensive. Tax on expensive things can be expensive. New Hampshire doesn't have taxes. Are you doing the math with me? If you are buying a bike for several thousand dollars in other New England states, you can end up paying several hundred dollars in taxes. You can avoid that by heading on up to beautiful tax free New Hampshire and buying your bike at Papa Wheelies.
